It comes from their original routes when they were call Resort Air. They served a loy of lake destinations in the Ozarks. There is a reason for everything.

Novair (Navigator) is good, i also like Air Wales and it's "Red Dragon". BA and Speedbird takes home the prize for best callsign for an global airline.
Is it North American that goes by "Red Rock"?
Cheers

Quoting Doona (Reply 19): Is it North American that goes by "Red Rock"?
They go by "North American"
"Red Rock" was used by the defunct LAS-based incarnation of National Airlines. Their callsign comes from Red Rock Canyon, which is just outside of Las Vegas.
